Various options: y is directly proportional to k, with x as the constant of proportionality; y is directly proportional to x, with k as the constant of proportionality; x is inversely proportional to k, with y as the constant of proportionality; x is directly proportional to y, with 1/k as the constant of proportionality; k is directly proportional to y, with 1/x as the constant of proportionality; and k is inversely proportional to x, with y as the constant of proportionality.
It is the constant of proportionality.
The constant of proportionality in the equation y = 3.8x is 3.8. This means that for every unit increase in x, y will increase by 3.8 times that amount. It represents the ratio between the two variables and remains constant throughout the relationship.
When there is a direct proportionality y = kx y = 75 k = 15 → 75 = 15x → x = 75/15 = 5
The Answers community requires more information for this question. Please edit your question to include more context. The answer will depend on the nature of proportionality between the two variables: is y directly proportional to x, or some power of x, is it inversely proportional?.
